ZEYAR Acrylic Paint Pens, Expert of Rock Painting, Extra Fine, 48 Colors, AP Certified, Permanent&Waterproof Ink, Works on Rock, Wood, Glass, Metal, Ceramic and nearly All Surfaces (48 Colors)

I was blown away when I first opened the box. The packaging is sturdy, and it includes stencils as well as extra pen tips! br>br>As with any new pen, parker, etc. , I like to make a color swatch sheet and go over it again and again. I arranged the markers in a way that I liked. So I pulled out all of my paint pens and tried to match the colors on the backs of the boxes with the pens. As you might expect, there is no indication on these pens as to which color corresponds to which. In addition, the pens have a cheap feel to them. I have another set of paint pens that I got from Amazon for a lot less money than these, but they still felt like real pens. These straws have the appearance of being disposable. They exude the feel of a cheap dollar store. br>br>After separating the obvious metallic pens from the possible pastel pens, I realized I'd have to swatch them if I wanted to get the colors exactly right. I swatched a few pens, and as I reached for the next color, I noticed that the pen appeared to be empty even before I removed the cap. I needed to check all of them, so I taped the pens to a clipboard and stood it vertically so that all of the ink could fall out and I could see how much ink was left in each pen. Some of them are only halfway filled. Some of the containers are nearly empty, while others are about a third full. None of 100% the seats are occupied. Which is understandable. I'm not a complete moron; I expected that there would be some empty space in the pen because it needs room to shake. I'm more irritated by the pens that are less than half-filled. It's also not a small number of them. Every single one of them is a part of it. br>br>Most pens are only half-filled with ink. A small portion has a little more than half, while a few have less than half. If I had to express myself in percentages, I would say: 70% have half the color, 2% have slightly more than half, and the rest have less than half. br>br>I paid $40 for this, so I expected to get $40 worth of product, with each pen containing the same amount. I didn't get anything close to what I had hoped for. I'd return them, but since I switched them, I'm not sure I can. br>br>Another thing about these pens is that some of them are juicy, while others are extremely dry and difficult to get ink out of. I spent an inordinate amount of time shaking these things in order to increase flow. It didn't make much of a difference. br>br>Metallic colors, too, appear to be a flop. While some of my metallic swatches appear to be metallic, there are large areas that appear to be flat color. Maybe I didn't give them enough of a shake? Maybe it's because I used them to cover a fairly large area. I'm not sure what it is about them, but they're pretty bad. br>br>These markers have a nice thinness to them, and I especially like the extra fine tips I got because they are necessary for doing detailed work. If you're trying to fill in large areas, I don't recommend these. Alternatively, large images are available. br>br>When you press down to make the ink flow, a lot of ink comes out, so be careful not to waste it, especially since there isn't much in them to begin with. br>br>Because it's difficult to see on camera, I didn't photograph all of them because some of the colors didn't show up. However, by looking at the photos I've attached, you should be able to see how low the ink is and get a good idea of how much it costs. br>br>I finished my swatch sheet right away. Because some of the colors are so similar in color, I couldn't tell which was which, so some of the names may be incorrect. The blues and pinks, in particular. Both the pastel pink and the regular pink, in my opinion, appear to be the same color. Hopefully, it gives you a good idea of what these colors look like before you buy this empty product; however, it's possible that mine was a mistake and they're filled this way because of it. But Idk. For those who are interested, these pens also come with a matter finish.

This doesn't happen nearly as often with these. Of course, if it's been a while since I've used them, I have to restart them, but in comparison to every other set I own, these are by far the best; I would highly recommend them and plan to purchase more in the future.

At a sip of water, Zeyar Art Paint pens were a hit. Create an ugly sweater birthday party by tracing the outlines of the sweaters before filling in the blanks. The pens must be shaken and pressure applied to the tip several times before the paint will flow, but once it does, the results are spectacular!.

I've purchased four different brands of paint pens from Amazon, and these are my favorites; I prefer acrylic to oil because I prefer a quick drying time. The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>b br>Brilliant colorsbr>Smooth inkbr>Color doesn't separate in the tubebr>Good flow on a clean tipbr>Easy to use if you follow the directionsbr>Quick dry timebr>Colors are very opaque so you can easily color overbr>br>The bad: br>Zeyar does not sell replacement tips, though some of the kits do (the 40 kit does not). br>You can't buy single colorsbr>Pens aren't labeled with their colorbr>They aren't "maintenance free" in the sense that you have to keep the tips clean. Paint will accumulate on the outside of the nib, clogging it. I keep mine clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth and soaking it in alcohol every now and then. But, in the end, it's an art product, and you need to look after your tools. br>br>Zeyar pens are more expensive, but they're the highest quality I've found, and I only use them. When you buy a 40-pen kit, your pen runs out, and your only option is to buy another 40-pen kit, it's a major pain. If Zeyar sold single colors and replacement tips, they'd have my undying loyalty.

I'm disappointed because I would have reordered this 48 pen set on a regular basis if it wasn't for the fact that it was out of stock. However, I believe I was overcharged at nearly $1 per pen. br>The product is excellent in and of itself. The acrylic "ink" inside is highly pigmented and provides excellent coverage; the points remain fine, do not become mushy, and allow for free medium flow. The colors are vibrant and range from a pastel to a deep shade of each hue. They're packaged in an easy-to-use box with cardboard separators between each row and a flip-back lid that tilts the set for working. They also come with a small bag containing eight additional tips and eight thin design stencils (not necessary for me, but a nice bonus). br>I'm not returning the set because a) I have a deadline to meet and b) I'll be able to reuse the well-designed box for other pens, but br>I DO NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASE unless you have a lot of money to spend because half-empty pens make these too expensive for anyone who does a lot of work. In a few days of normal work, I could easily use up all of the ink in this set.

I was surprised that none of them, including the tip, ever dried out. My second set is already in the shopping cart.
